Warner Bros.„. Wonder Woman 1984 On its third weekend it continued to simulate the legs of a horror movie, down -45%. $ 3M In 2218 theaters and BO is running $ 32.6 million. It’s pretty obvious that this movie isn’t going to make money out of it Tenet Really in the US at $ 58 million and we know that 60% of all movie theaters are closed, including Series II Regal (Pennsylvania and Colorado reopened last weekend I heard). To make matters worse: I heard that after a bleak holiday period, some cinemas decided to close their doors, skipping the Warners’ push WW1984; This is how bad things are. The studio, which usually doesn’t need to fight to rent it, will need to do so now.

The directed sequel Patti Jenkins is on its 17th day, which means it has another two weeks before it HBO Max It takes the title from the streaming service and the movie is playing for about 30 days in cinemas. Warner Media No digital horns have been blown about how Wonder Woman 1984 On HBO Max regarding viewers and subscribers, and I understand if there’s anything positive to report, we’ll hear about it on the next AT&T earnings call. However, if there is something cool they would shout out to the world WW1984The success of HBO Max … we had already heard about it.

I’ve heard theater owners haven’t even spoken to government officials about reopening Los Angeles and New York City regarding movie theaters because of course we’re in the worst case with Covid cases recorded in these two. Regions. According to anecdotal accounts, where I live 30 minutes north of Los Angeles, local ordinances put a cap on the number of people within a bank branch (only 21 people at Chase), with many branches closing around Valencia. However, there is still hypocrisy that reigns as to what is open and what is closed: Restaurants, like theaters fighting for their economic lives, are forced to provide delivery or only eat out while Kohls, Walmart, Target, and the stores are in the mall Wide open. I still don’t understand how the exhibition allows itself to be sanctioned by local governments when they introduce proper filtration systems and spaced seats in an auditorium. While airlines cry that fewer people are traveling, the point is that they fly, with no reported cases of Covid, and the government is not closing airports: In the past two days, the Transportation Security Administration has screened 1.48 million people, or 61 people. % Decrease compared to last year.
